Discover the cross-country ski network Marbach-Escholzmatt-Bumbach with a total of 50 kilometers of trails in classic and skating style and enjoy the incomparable view. The trail entrance is located in Wiggen. The trail runs parallel to the Ilfis towards Trubschachen, often close to the edge of the forest. As there are no extreme inclines, the trail is well suited for beginners and advanced skiers. Before the Längmatte farm, the trail makes a loop so that you can then return on the same track back to Wiggen. Afterwards, you have several options: from Wiggen to Escholzmatt or from Wiggen to Camping Marbach, round trail Camping-Marbach, village round trail Marbach and many more up to Bumbach-Kemmeriboden.
